Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Abs light comes on when coming to a full stop. the vehicle performs as normal until the first full stop after starting engine. vehicle will not stop properly as antilock brake computer will not let the driver fully apply the brakes. after a few stopping attempts the abs light comes on indicating the computer cannot sense a signal from the speed sensor. the computer then turns off antilock function and allows normal braking until engne is turned off and computer is reset. the process repeats at each vehicle startup. this condition could pose a safety hazard upon coming to a full stop and cause an accident. suggest manufacturer look into product assembly and/or manufacturing defects for brake speed sensors on all sonoma/s-10 or equivalently equipped vehicles. *ak
